8/15
100,000 gns yearling, Starman filly who shaped with definite encouragement behind a pair who had already shown plenty when third of 10 in maiden (20/1) at Doncaster (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago, running green but staying on. Looks sure to improve and she's the one to beat.

10/1
Foaled February 19 85,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel filly. Showed a bit but ultimately didn't see her race out when fifth of 6 in novice (7/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut back in June. Represents leading stable so surprise where she not capable of better.

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, fourth of 6 in novice at Redcar (7f, good) 4 days ago, left behind by front trio over 1f out. Likely she'll hold more chance in handicaps on the back of this.

9/4
70,000 gns 2-y-o, Invincible Spirit filly. Very green for the most part but offered something to work on by the end when third of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) on debut 40 days ago, keeping on. In good hands and she's entitled to progress.

Forecasts

Leading Dancer (8/15), Yy Spirit (9/4), Light The Night Up (10/1), Skirt Around (66/1)

Verdict

LEADING DANCER shaped up most encouragingly behind a pair who had already displayed plenty in a Doncaster maiden 16 days ago and bound to improve from that initial effort, this looks a good opening for Karl Burke's daughter of Starman to get off the mark. Yy Spirit showed promise on her respective debut at Wolverhampton and is expected to pose the chief threat.
